Oz Knozz – True Believer (2012)

Houston, Texas band Oz Knozz was originally formed all the way back in 1969 by current members Duane and Bill Massey, plus Jack Alford. Their first album “Ruff Mix” came out in the mid 1970s, and plenty of touring followed. It wasn’t until 2008 that the follow-up emerged, and that makes new album “True Believer” only the 3rd album in 42 years.

You know what? Whilst this album isn’t going to change the musical landscape, if the band had consistently been making music like this for the past four and a bit decades, I have a sneaking suspicion they would be up there with the likes of UFO and other vintage pedallers of classic rock.

Burning Point – The Ignitor (2012)

Country: Finalnd
Genre: Power Metal 
Quality: mp3, VBR V2 kbps
Size: 72 Mb

One can’t help but be impressed with the level of technical skill and symphonic grandiosity of Burning Point’s “The Ignitor.” The problem is that once one gets over being impressed by this Finnish band’s big guitar and keyboard-rich sound, there’s little there to move the spirit.

Granted, when you’ve got guitarists as technically proficient as Pekka Kolivuiri and Pete Ahonen, you’re going to want to use them to maximum effect. The band does just that on the opening track, “Eternal Flame,” which is easily the best song on the album. It starts with almost baroque acoustic guitar and keyboards before repeating the phrase, this time with full-on electric fury before heading into speedy power-metal territory, complete with Ahonen delivering a falsetto scream.
